Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Thanks, many thanks!

    After Clyde’s passing, we received many wonderfully kind condolences.  We thank everyone who took the time to write.  Here are some of the cards we received: We also received many wonderful emails from friends, family, and co-workers.  Thank you so much! We sent printed copies of Clyde’s obituary to the veterinarians who cared for him […]

  • Flame Grilled and Flushed Away!

    I have a tendancy to leave things in my clothes pockets at the end of the day.  I’ve always thought I make a concerted effort to empty the pockets, but Sue disagrees.  See, in our division of household duties, Sue does all the laundry.  She has often come across gum wrappers, wads of paper, loose change, […]

  • I want a new drug!

    Yesterday we took Clyde to the vet.  It was a bit of an emergency … he hasn’t eaten in the last couple of days plus he has been sneezing a lot recently and breathing through his mouth.  He has been on the antibiotic “Clavamox” for the past week, but it hasn’t seemed to clear up […]
